I've watched the temp gauge bounce, which is from the cavitation,etc like you say, but it will average at the numbers I say. I've also seen the temp gauge bounce due to wind being front, back, or side.


It freezes where I live, and I don't have time to drain, refill, drain, refill with different coolants depending on where I want to drive or what weather pattern is coming.


I literally posted a link that shows that a 4 blade fan pulls more air. Is the study wrong? Is there a different study that shows different?


When pulling a hill, the engine RPM is high, but ground speed is low, well below 35 mph. The 4/6 blade fan would be better right?


Would a shroud be more effective than a multi blade fan?


Water flow capacity through the radiator is not the same as heat disappation.

If you really have the flow of coolant through your radiator that is required and it’s still overheating. You have a radiator problem.

Have you checked the timing?

These are really simple cars. A good radiator is a must. That’s what dissipates the heat. You need the flow to get the heat to your radiator. A good radiator might actually allow your engine to run cooler than you might think it should.

My last post. Good luck.
